As the search for the crew continues, questions remain about the source of the missing footage and the manner in which it was discovered.

Producer Nick Hill said in a statement today: “It has been incredible to have the original source material to work with, and we have great respect and admiration for the work of the Cryptozoological Society and are keen to support them in their search.

"The movie raises important questions about species which conventional science tells us have long since become extinct, and we hope it will help raise awareness of the search to locate the missing persons and the BCZS's ongoing work in the Congo.”

The Dinosaur Project will hit U.K. screens on August 10th and globally thereafter.
